Mumbai, January 26
Numerous Bollywood stars attended the special live musical performance of AR Rahman based on the upcoming silent film 'Gandhi Talks' at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
Vijay Sethupathi, who plays the lead role in the film, looked stylish at the event, donning a brown jacket and shirt over blue denim jeans. The actor's moustache and sunglasses served as the highlight of his look.
As always, AR Rahman looked classy at the event in a velvet blazer. He paired his blazer with an all-black shirt and formal pants.
Rising young star Abhay Verma also attended the event and posed for the cameras while highlighting his lovely smile.
Several other stars who attended the event include Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Nia Sharma, Rashami Desai, Siddharth Jadav, Usha Nadkarni and others.
Silent film 'Gandhi Talks' is directed by Kishore Belekar.
Speaking about the vision behind the film, director Belekar, as per a release, shared, "Gandhi Talks is a film about trusting silence. As Indian cinema marks over a century of storytelling, we wanted to return to the medium's most elemental form, pure performance and emotion."
"The actors embraced that vulnerability completely, and A.R. Rahman's score became the film's voice. With Zee Studios', Meera Chopra's support, we were able to make a bold, honest piece of cinema," he added.
Along with Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy and Aditi Rao Hydari, the film also stars Siddharth Jadhav in a crucial role. The music of the film has been composed by AR Rahman.
The film will release in theatres on January 30, 2026.

Vijay Sethupathi in a Hindi film is always a treat! He's such a versatile actor. The idea of a silent film in today's times is very bold. Hope it finds its audience.
While I admire the artistic ambition, I'm a bit skeptical. A silent film in 2026? It might be too niche. Hope the storytelling is powerful enough to justify the format.
The cast looks fantastic! Aditi Rao Hydari and Arvind Swamy are such graceful performers. Perfect for a film relying on pure emotion and performance.
"Trusting silence" – what a beautiful thought, especially in our noisy world. This feels like a much-needed cinematic experiment. Jio World Centre is the perfect venue for such an event!
Good to see fresh talent like Abhay Verma getting opportunities alongside stalwarts. The industry needs this mix. Excited for the release!
